Bruce Lehrmann raped Brittany Higgins, judge finds.
I’m shocked, I tell you!
Extra bonus comment: “Having escaped the lion’s den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of coming back for his hat.”
Such a great way to put it. That criminal trial was not going his way. When he escaped with a mistrial, he really should have faded into obscurity. But noooooooooo, he willingly went back for more. Idiot.To think, 5 years ago, he harbored the idea of going into politics.
so now can we drag 7 over the coals for buying this fucker hookers and blow?
Good. (The validation of the finding, not that it happened.) They put her through so much shit.
He’s so full of himself, it’s amazing his head can squeeze through the courtroom doors. But I guess that’s what makes a personality for politics, probably would have risen to the top in no time. Hopefully he finally fades away never to be seen again.
Been looking at this today. Sadly even though the judge has come to that judgement it can’t incur any criminal penalties according to the ABC.
"“I hasten to stress this is a finding on the balance of probabilities.”
Mr Lehrmann faced a criminal trial in the ACT Supreme Court in 2022, which collapsed without a verdict due to juror misconduct.
This trial is a civil defamation trial where the burden of proof is less and does not lead to any criminal punishment."
Despite that it’s a good ruling.
Thought youse might like a little laugh. This is my iron. It’s about 25 years old. It still looks brand new. It’s like a kid’s toy. It’s the size of a tissue box. My mum bought it when I moved out of home. Her words were “You may need it one day”. Today is that day.
Tip:
Don’t fall for the temptation of cranking it to max heat. Reserve that for linen and pure cotton. Medium heat will work perfectly well in almost all circumstances.I swear my cuppa tea was hotter than the synthetic setting.
On Saturday morning we woke up to the news my FIL had a mini stroke the night before. My husband got a pretty nasty text from his sister which he was about to retaliate to until I reminded him that she just buried her FIL three days ago. Then we have stabbings and shit going on overseas, protests here and I still had to hem pants for my daughter for school tomorrow. Although nothing really directly affected me I’m like “enough already”. Hence the reason Comfortably Numb popped into my head last night.
Update: Just got good news that my FIL is being discharged from hospital in the next couple of hours.
Oh shit, hope your father in law is ok.
Yep, daylight savings is rough enough with the news and illnesses or whatever. Bit over it all myself tbh.
Yeah he’s ok thankfully
so many hugs to you and your fam
Thanks. Appreciate it.
Hugs. There’s just so much going on atm its quite overwhelming. I hope your FIL is ok and you & hubby are doing alright
Thanks.
Heavy.
I hope you and extended fam is doing okay.
Yeah. We’re all OK. Thanks
I hope everything works out for you ❤️
Thanks mate.
Thinking of you and hope all turns out ok.
It’s been a tough time all round it it seems.
Thanks mate.
I’m really glad that your FIL isn’t in a very serious condition. It’s a lot to have gone through in this short and insane time. One foot in front of the other
Thank you.
Oh that’s awful but I’m really glad he’s better
Perhaps a bit of news detox is in order?
Thank you. Yeah no more media news for me tonight.
That sounds like so much. I hope you get a chance to relax for a moment and that your FIL goes well.
Thank you.
Controversial opinion, but I think the tv coverage of the Bondi incident has been too saturated. The exact same images and story over and over again without anything new to report. Yes, it’s a terrible tragedy. But wow the media latches on and just won’t let go until it’s absolutely drained every last drop of blood out of it.
did you see the footage broadcast live on Saturday arvo? I thought the presenter was about to pop a boner from the excitement of having a story. It was disgusting.
Or something “more interesting” comes up. It’s fucked.
Agree.
Yes! I noticed this. I think this has become much more common after the COVID era of people being glued to media for an extended period of time. The powers that be want that behaviour to continue.
I don’t watch aussie news at all and read newspapers maybe once a week
so missed all the arseholery by the media
I Agree with you.
I saw quite a bit on tv over the weekend and all they did was rehash and even reword sentences over and over just to extend the coverage and constantly interview people who said were guessing what happened but that the police had to complete their investigations and stuff before they could make a factual statement.
I’ve been a bit weirded out by it too, but I’m trying to see the good side. It’s a good sign that they’re still going on about it, that shows that at least some people are interested, and the reason people still care about it now is that this is a pretty big thing that just doesn’t really happen here. In certain other countries, shootings and similar massacres are so commonplace they’re not cared about at a national level, and half the time won’t receive more than a casual mention at state level,.similar to how we’d treat a car accident.
I didn’t watch a lot about it but was still surprised at how gratuitous some of the images and footage were. One that surprised me was the ABC when they did an article about the response from the guy’s parents and actually showed the police car outside their house.. We don’t need to see where his parents live, they’ve done no wrong and feel awful about it all, why show everyone where they live?
I’m high as shit on meds (I was under GA and now on Oxyvodone?) . Procedure went well. TMI but I’m high as shit: pain in the ass (pilonidal cyst) is literally gone! Yay ✨
@Baku can someone pls tag Baku as he followed up on my previous post
ow, it’s crazy how seeming weird little things can really disrupt quality of life
glad it went well and you are getting better now, gentle hugs
Glad to hear you’re alright!
Yay! Hopefully it heals quickly.
I haven’t told anyone in my life (outside of work) that I have a small medical procedure today. I haven’t told my parents because I don’t want them to unnecessarily stress out and they’re enjoying a holiday in Spain. It’s an annoying cyst that needs draining. Hope it goes well.
I now need to fast until surgery 😩 ate 2 ✨kwossants ✨ and a protein shake. Might get some orange juice later as I can have clear liquids until 2 hours before.
hugs
be sure to video and post on one of the disgusting subs on reddit
I made an unfortunate mistake of watching one of those for my condition…and I am extremely nervous.
Well wishes for a speedy procedure and recovery.
How’d it go?
“I’m high as shit on meds (I was under GA and now on Oxyvodone?) . Procedure went well. TMI but I’m high as shit: pain in the ass (pilonidal cyst) is literally gone! Yay ✨”
This was just posted about 15 or so minutes ago. They wanted someone to tag you but every time I try that it fucks up for some reason, so I did the old-fashioned copy and paste.
Thanks Sheila
Kid is doing a lot better, but still woke up screaming bloody murder at 4am. This was after it took nearly 3.5 hours to get him down in the first place. My stomach feels a bit “meh” so i decided to forgo the coffee. Struggle street is real today.
It’s been a helluva day after a busy week - 4 loads of laundry, wrangling more car inspection logistics, dealing with more family drama, figuring out work things…
Luckily I was granted my first wfh day tomorrow so I don’t need to worry about getting to work and organising lunch on top of it all. Slotted in a car inspection that feels very promising. Please cross your fingers for me that this is the one, it ticks all the boxes. I really need something before next week…
🤞🤞🤞
🍀
🤞🤞🤞
Inspection on Thursday, so I have many chores to do before then.
My apartment is the physical manifestation of depression and untreated ADHD. I’ve written a list for each room and general cleaning, and will start from the back and move to the front.
Pray for me.
Edit: my big fat heavy Dyson vacuum has cracked. Wtf‽
🙏
If you can’t extend its life with duct tape or get hold of a new vacuum in time it is possible to sweep carpet with a broom. It’s not perfect but works surprisingly well and is better than nothing.
Thank you! Will try that for sure!
I cannot believe how many fucking carpet moths there are. Serves me right for leaving my beanbags on the floor.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUFUHDHDSHHDDJFJFJJFF
It’s so nice out, I feel guilty for sitting at my desk. Lunchtime walk in the sunshine is on the cards methinks.
It* is* lovely. I’m going out for a walk and some shopping too. Will walk home through the park. 😻🌲🌳🌴
Freakin love the home affairs youtube ad talking about setting up Multifactor auth. I mean, Bro I’m in talks right now with Microsoft regarding best practices of conditional access MFA and the depreciation of per user MFA policies, so you might’ve wasted the budget on me. But its good to see someone OTHER than the banks starting to push this shit. We’ve gotta get past this “I’m old. I dont GET computers” attitudes, cause if that’s your take you better get off the internet and go back to a pen and paper as you’re doing exactly what attackers want you to do: Bury your head in the sand under the guise of “its all too hard”.
And not just sms auth. Mobile number spoofing is a risk.

So per user MFA is old news?
Bathroom and kitchen sinks cleaned, toilet done. Vacc’d the study and hallway. Wiped windows, benches, fridge and walls.
Tomorrow I will tackle the bedroom and living rooms and hopefully my LL won’t realise I’m an actual piece of shit.
Also, can anyone confirm that lack of airflow causes mold? I found some on the fridge and windows and wonder if my lack of flyscreen is to blame? (As in I am hesitant to open doors/windows due to bugs because I don’t have flyscreen at all). Weighing up whether it is worth grabbing those temp ones from Bunnings or not…
It’s probably condensation from cooking. If you have a kitchen door to the outside keep it open a little during cooking and always use your range hood if you have one.
The kitchen is in the complete opposite side of the room to the windows 😭 and we do use the rangehood. I disinfected the windows and fridge and will keep an eye on it.
Nothing in the bathroom, interestingly, doesn’t have windows either. But it does have two exhaust fans 🤷♀️
It’s all those delicious fucking meals your partner makes. If you’re gonna buy a fly screen just buy it for the one closest to your stove.
I changed my Seek settings, so now I can get an email whenever someone opens my resume, and I’ll get one if my application is unlikely to proceed.
Makes life easier
Also:
Helth! On both counts. Anything that takes the stress out of the job hunt is a good thing.
Does anyone else wake up in the middle of the night to snack?
Have you tried becoming nocturnal? It doesn’t fix the 3am snacking, just the whole waking up at 3am thing
It’s first breakfast.
Mr P does and the rustling of plastic wrappers etc at all hours of the night makes me want to commit a crime. This morning at 3:15am it was the accidental smashing of a glass. Aargh!
There is a random black cat wandering around my back yard and is currently sitting on top of my shed. I had a brief moment of fear until I confirmed Miss Meow is still safely curled up in her basket snoozing.
There’s a black cat that lives on my street that walks me home when I come back late. My local bus round the corner finishes at 9pm, but there’s another bus at the end of my street a 10 minute walk away that runs til midnight. 9/10 times I’m walking home, the kitty runs up behind me and walks alongside me for a few blocks then sits on the corner and watches me go home
Best photo of the kitty I’ve been able to get so far:
